Cxx0 General discussions / C860 Charging Problem (not Battery)

Allright! Way to go, man - I'm very happy that it worked for you too :-)

Finally I had some time to post the pictures of my 'ghetto' fix:

The best way to open the Zaurus is to use a credit card, pushing it along the edges
of the case.

Afterwards, you should remove a few screws to be able to rise the motherboard.

The 0.63A fuse is under the protective screen that can be seen on this picture:

Mainboard & Protective screen

This picture shows the new fuse already glued to the top of the old broken one:

New fuse on top of the broken one

This is the glue that I used to cover both ends of the fuses:

The silver glue

And this is how it looks just after applying the glue (with the help of a pin):
A little mess after applying the glue

This, as you can see, looks quite awful, but I was able to clean it and make it more professionally looking.

Unfortunately after straightening it out, I was so eager to test the charging of the battery (and it worked!) that I forgot to take the last picture, showing everything in a proper way.

But I hope that it still will be helpful to you :-)

Best regards,
Edi800

Edi800, could I see some pics of of the conductive glue repair.  I'm not the greatest solderer, and if it doesn't look too bad, that may be how I repair mine.

OK, no problem, I'll post the pictures of my fixed setup and of the silver glue. I also thought, when I saw the fuses, that it is next to impossible to solder them
But glueing them on is really easy. :-)

Also, the "trick" I ended up using, this may be helpful to those who suck at soldering, is to cut a bit of solder with wire cutters and place them on the board, melt each piece of solder in place a bit, then place the fuse on top and melt each solder chunk while softly pushing the fuse down.

I did something different, because I suck at soldering even more

I just left the original fuse in place, and glued (not soldered) the replacement fuse ON TOP OF IT. I used a generic Super Glue to do that.

After checking the connection, I found that it is faulty (so that just pushing one fuse on top of another does not result in a good electrical connection), so I added some silver conductive glue (this can be bought in a DYI store) to the ends of fuses.

This 'ghetto' fixing method proved very effective and easy. No soldering was needed, and I didn't even use a magnifying glass.

I'll try to post some pictures of it. In my case only the 0.63A fuse was broken.

Thanks Maslovsky for the pictures and the manual for finding the elements on the Zaurus's board.

General Discussion / Battery or recharge circuit problem - C860

Any updates on the possibly fried charging circuitry, has anyone tried replacing it?

I will try this or nexxt week to fix my SL-C760, so stay tuned.

I have the same problem - lower battery charging voltage, so that battery is not being charged anymore. Caused that by inverting polarization on the DC adapter :-(

I think also that probably those small capacitors on the Z mobo are fried, so they need to be replaced. I found that such small capacitors can be found on some PC mainboards, so the only problem that remains is to find a solder gun capable of soldering such tiny elements :-)

Helou,

za 2 tygodnie będę miał do sprzedania swojego SL-C760, bo kolega przywozi mi z Japonii 860-tke.

Czy ktoś jest zainteresowany sprzęcikiem?

Poland / Ustawienia Gprs Do Ery / Bluetooth

ups, sorry, oczywiście chodziło o Cacko 1.22a, bo jeszcze nie ma "b" - trochę późno się zrobiło i pojawiły się literówy

Poland / Ustawienia Gprs Do Ery / Bluetooth
« on: February 17, 2005, 07:12:00 pm »
Helou,

właśnie po 3 godzinach walki udało mi się w końcu skofigurować dostęp GPRS w Erze przez bluetooth i tel. Nokia 6310i.

Sparowanie z telefonem poszło dość sprawnie (mam kartę CF BT Belkin F8T020  - Mediamarkt, 289 zł), ale potem były problemiki z odpowiednimi skrypcikami logowania, bo standardowy applet nie działa do tych naszych ustawień :-(  Czyli najpierw trzeba sobie zrobić połączenie bluetooth ppp, a potem zmodyfikować skrypciki.

-- Działa pod Cacko 1.22b --

Oto zawartość pliku  /etc/ppp/peers/BLUETOOTH<XXXXXXX>

(przy czym <XXXXXXX> zależy od sparowania z waszym telefonem)

Tak więc oddaję te wypocone pliki w public domain i może się komuś przydadzą :-)

OK, can you just attach a working copy of Polish keymap here, so that I can update the hotfix.

What exactly doesn't work?  I just checked - Polish keymap loads fine and I can switch between English and Polish. I cannot say if  keymap produces proper characters though...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65797\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I think that there's something wrong with the keymap that was inside the ipk of Hotfix a.
There are spaces between the key codes in configuration options.
eg.  there is space (0x20) between 0x2014 and 0x118
[keyboard-fn]
0x2014 0x118 0x119 #q daje e z ogonkiem
0x2017 0x104 0x105 #a daje a z ogonkiem
0   0   0  

I see there are TABs (0x09) in other keymaps. And when I copy the English keymap and put the same Polish key codes in [keyboard-fn], but with TABs between them instead of spaces, then it works. Is the cyrillica applet 'sensitive' to spaces?

Qtopia:

 - Fixed problem wirh Polish keymap not being loaded by keyboard applet

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65577\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Can you please write how can I fix the problem with Polish keybard? Because unfortunately, after installing 1.22 Hotfix A, the Polish keymap does not work too :-(

Apart from that, the new ROM is great :-)
